Very interesting and thought-provoking article. I particularly like your admission that the challenge is great and that it will take many years to get to grips with creating the necessary structural change. This will be painful for those who are impatient for results. But as you say: There is no alternative. So, we had better get started. One thing strikes me: as successful restructuring and renewal of society will require an innovative, transparent and energetic effort by governments, in tandem with experts, it is imperative that those who serve in government deserve to be there. Incompetence, dithering and politicizing will certainly scupper the whole thing.
